New Slope Condo, 910 Union, Almost Ready for Prime Time
The newest condo in Park Slope, 910 Union Street—between 8th Avenue and Grand Army Plaza—is expected to hit the market by the end of May, according to one of its developers. Brian Lockner, of American Development Group, says construction is close to wrapping and that the building will have 15 units: Two one-bedrooms, two two-bedrooms and 11 three-bedrooms. Lockner says the units will have high-end finishes, private outdoor space in each, and an elevator that opens directly into all the spreads aside from the ones on the first two floors. Lockner wouldn’t talk prices with us because the offering plan has yet to be approved, but we’re hearing from the brokerage community that the building may be aiming to set some Park Slope condo records, with prices running between $1.6 and $2 million. Clearly the family market is being targeted given how many three-bedrooms are being built. The shrouding covering the development makes it tough to determine how it’s going to turn out, but Lockner says a final exterior rendering has yet to be finalized and that the old one we have is out of date.
